If the transmitted pattern is available and compatible with the target vehicle, the database may send a prompt to the target vehicle to download or purchase the pattern.

Abstract: An earth moving vehicle (EMV) autonomously performs an earth moving operation within a dig site. If the EMV determines that a state of the EMV or the dig site triggers a triggering condition associated with a pause in the autonomous behavior of the EMV, the EMV determines a risk associated with the state or triggering condition. If the risk is greater than a first threshold, the EMV continues the autonomous performance and notifies a remote operator that the triggering condition was triggered. If the risk is greater than the first threshold risk but less than a second threshold risk, the EMV is configured to operate in a default state before continuing and notifying the remote operator. If the risk is greater than the second threshold risk, the EMV notifies the remote operator of the state pauses the performance until feedback is received from the remote operator.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to AI-based machine-learning and natural language modeling to identify semantic similarities between sets of content having natural language text. For example, a system may generate a relevance classification that indicates whether content such as articles are non-specifically relevant to charities without identifying a particular charity. If the content is non-specifically relevant to charities, the system may apply a natural language model to generate sentence embeddings based on the content and determine a level similarity between the sentence embeddings and a query embedding generated from a charity query. The charity query may itself be generated from a full description of the charity through an encoder-decoder architecture with reinforcement learning.
